I'm going to throw out the fact that there may be a mistake in the profile? I've run New York a few times and New Haven maybe 20 times. New Haven is much flatter.....just sayin'

Google Maps says that their elevation profiles aren't accurate, and how could it be? It's not as though google has the elevation of every point on the Earth stored in their database. What program could possibly calculate accurately the total elevation change of every random course with any sort of accuracy at all?

Look at the elevation profile on Google maps. The units on the vertical axis are 83' while the units on the horizontal axis are miles. The profile is designed to make you see something that's not there.

re: ronb

Google Earth elevation is good for getting a general idea of elevation but it's not always that accurate. E.g. if you look at the elevation profile on Google Earth of an outdoor track from an aerial view, you'd conclude it must be slightly lobsided and uphill 10meters!!!

Prediction: New Haven will remain the world's 4th-ranked 20 km.

No kidding..

I just marked off 4 laps on a track using that USATF/Google Maps utility. 13 foot climb? 25 foot net elevation change? That's a lot hillier than I remember it being.

re: ronb

it's a nice course. discipline is needed to hold back in the 1st half from the excitement of being in a national championship. the middle of the course can be very hot this time of year and the wind can play a factor as well.

Mo Trafeh wins easily if hes in the shape he was at NYC half (1:00:39), and I believe he is ! and there no way hes doing drugs !!! He eats, SLEEPS and trains...thats it.

re: GAUCHOS

When you love someone, you've gotta trust them. There's no other way. You've got to give them the key to everything that's yours. Otherwise, what's the point? And for a while, I believed, that's the kind of love I had.

re: ray

Thanks Ray. Great course. Not rolling. A couple of hills, but I agree with Malmo, nothing to write home about. I ran well... on the better side of what I wanted... had too much left, but wasn't sure how to judge my effort. I was happy, though.
